- The latest PS5 -Firmware Beta Update arrives in the coming months and includes a new double -pairing feature
- Sony soon allows DualSEense -Controllers to pair across multiple devices simultaneously
- A Power Saver mode will also be introduced later to reduce the power consumption of supported PS5 play
Sony has announced the new features for its latest PlayStation 5 Beta Firmware update, which includes at the same time double -pairing across multiple devices.
The details were shared on the PlayStation blog, where Sony said it believes it enables the compatibility of its peripheral devices across multiple platforms “creates a more flexible and trouble -free gaming experience.”
To promote this effort, the latest beta update will view a new feature that allows double -sense wireless controllers and double -sense Edge Wireless Controllers to be paired across multiple devices at the same time, making it easier for players to switch between them without having to pair every time.
“With this update, you can now register up to four devices simultaneously and easily switch between them directly from your controller,” Sony explained.
“For example, you can take your controller that you use with your PS5, and then seamlessly switch connection to a PC to play PC games or connect it to a smartphone to enjoy remote games from your PS5. With this improved flexibility you can enjoy playing more freely across multiple devices.”
Sony also revealed a new Power Saver mode that, when activated, allows supported PS5 games to run with lower power consumption and reduce the environmental impact.
This is part of its path to zero environmental plan and is shown as a new option in the PS5 setting menu when released.
This feature will not be in the latest beta update set to release globally in the coming months, but Sony said it will be available at a later date.
